Post by ink3 »

I wanted install fontmatrix with slapt-src but :
# slapt-src -i fontmatrix
The following packages will be installed:
fontmatrix
Do you want to continue? [y/N] y
Fetching README...Done
Fetching doinst.sh...Done
Fetching fix-podofo-detection.patch...Done
Fetching fontmatrix.SlackBuild...Done
Fetching fontmatrix.info...Done
Fetching slack-desc...Done
Fetching http://fontmatrix.net/archives/fontmatr ... z...Failed

I don't see anything "closed", I guess you mean broken link. The answer would be to the respective SlackBuild maintainer and/or the slackbuilds.org mailing list.

Ok. Thanks.

From #slackbuils I get answer that I probably must talk with mantianer slapt-src.
Link from slackbuild are ok, but fontmatrix no.

I don't see how the link's should be ok. They point to nowhere. How should we or even the slapt-src maintainer do anything about this? We're not publishing those broken links, that's slackbuilds resp. that slackbuilds maintainer.

They don't know what they're talking about.

No it isn't. Tell them that the fontmatrix-0.6.0-Source.tar.gz link in this page doesn't work: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37 ... ontmatrix/
